If I Were An Obama Supporter Right Now, I'd Be Praying That Video Was a Total Set-up
And that it was created by someone on HC's side to make you all look like fools.

You can practically hear the panic in this thread. Funny that the video was not doctored as you can hear it clear as day with headphones.

That was a brilliant piece of work, and it was made by someone at the ad agency he was using, but on their own time.

13. Based upon their campaign histories
This tape and denial seems like something out of Kkkarl Rove's playbook. Who knows, maybe Blumenthal is behind this one, too. Or Cantor or Carville.

The Obama campaign has turned to talk about how to defeat McCain - that was the thrust of his speech on Wed., and has been his thurst since before the last primary.

Obama has won this election by any rational look at numbers, unless Clinton can try to create some massive stink bomb to turn away super delegates.

WHY would it be to his advantage to post something so OBVIOUSLY and QUICKLY refutable? Has this been his m.o. in the past? Has this been Hillary's m.o.? (yes)

based upon the content of their characters, I doubt very, very seriously that this came from the Obama camp.

46. For One Thing
I went back and looked at the original and cranked up the volume and watched Mickey's lips and saw he, indeed, said "shitting."

For another, I considered the context of the scene. They'd just seen an exit poll that showed them in the lead in Indiana. Why call people who just voted for you, "shits," or "shitty"? Makes no sense.

Lastly, I'm not sure what was said in that final whisper, but I do know people were calling the Clintons (Bill, Roger, their mother Virginia) white trash in 1992, so it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine someone had called Bill a "worthless ..." as well, and it wouldn't be a stretch to imagine Kantor may have been referring to that. It would make sense, in context.

19. This clip really doesnt seem doctored in comparing the original
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4_wKOgMNs0U

It seems the only change is louder audio and subtitles.

44. That's a big difference
THe subtitles lead you disregard the actual words.

I listened to the one with the subtitles and the words were quite convincing. Then I listened to the original without the subtitles. I heard the "shit" part but not the N word.

Experts can use fancy equipment to figure this out. I'll wait and see before I think anything more about it.

20. Obama's campaign is too smart to smear like HRC's campaign
And with regard to the recording, even if "white ni**er" is disputable, "These people are shit", cleary referring to the Indiana voters, won't go over too well.

Too bad HRC surrounds herself with such slimy advisors. Some of it deserves to rub off.

This issue is between Hillary & the media, unless they choose to expose themsleves as hypocrites by ignoring it.

23. Typical Clinton bullshit...
Trying to make their sick selves about someone else who has nothing
to do with this.

Try having a little dignity will you?

If Cantor did say these things, then Clinton can distance herself or denounce
the comments.

Her campaign, and her little lemmings don't need to spread sick lies about
this being an Obama issue.

It's not.

This is about Mickey Kantor and the Clintons.

Don't make this little flare up worse than it all ready is. When you play dirty, it's
obvious.

You just make yourself and Hillary look even worse.

39. It shouldn't matter anyway...
Clinton herself never said it, just as Obama never should have been blamed for the things Wright has said. That being said.

It's something on Obama one week, then Clinton the next, then rinse and repeat, the damage is done...to the entire Democratic party. See what I mean? And we are just hand puppets tearing each other down, while they watch. It stinks....smells really Rovian shit.

40. Like the Bush National Guard story
It's like reverse psychology. Have someone put out something they know is doctored and then see if anyone will jump on it, setting up the people who jumped on it to have egg on their faces.

Someone sent CBS fake documents on George Bush's National Guard situation, CBS jumped on it without checking facts and later found they were fake and made CBS look bad.
